Mary and Martha's House goes Matisse Red

So,  "The Women with Jesus" series has portrayed the Woman at the Well at Van Gogh's "Starry, Starry Night," the Madonna and Child into Warhol's "print" type cubes, the Woman Bent Over and the Synagogue Leaders in Munch's "The Scream," Mary and Elizabeth in Picasso's cubism, and The Bleeding Woman and the Widow and her Last Mite into Seurat's pointalism.  Now, I will attempt to put Jesus at dinner at Mary and Martha's house into Matisse's "Red Room." Here we go!

"Jesus, The Woman Bent Over, and the Leader of the Synagogue as Munch's 'The Screamer'"

Finished just this afternoon, "Jesus, The Woman Bent Over, and the Leader of the Synagogue as Munch's 'The Screamer'" is number 11 of "The Woman with Jesus" series.  It comes from Luke 13:10-17, with its style taken from Edward Munch's "The Screamer."  It was great fun recreating the screaming figure's pose and expression.  The woman's figure works to imply someone battling the crippling battle of arthritis and osteoporosis.  It was also great fun creating the realistic effects that we all face as we age.  I bet she wished she could have taken one-a-day Boniva!

Done Diptych!

I have completed my first diptych and gained back half of our living room and two card tables for Christmas Eve!  It is a pointalism of the Widow's Mite, measuring 20"x 60," numbers 9 and 10 of "The Women with Jesus" series.  And yes, Lisa Wolfe, I WILL one day move to women of the Hebrew bible!

Women with Jesus Goes 3-D

The "Women with Jesus" series of oil pastels on black matte board has gone 3-D this fall.  In September, I translated the drawing "The Woman that Touched Jesus' Cloak" into a 17" wide geometric sculpture made of 4 different types of exotic woods.  Just this week I translated my newest drawing, "Warhol Madonna and nChild," seen on the Christmas cards currently ready for purchase, into another geometric sculpture made of the same exotic wood.  This fall, "Warhol Madonna and Child" and "Elizabeth's Praise" made their way into the original series of oil pastels.  In addition, I am currently completing "The Widow's Mite," the ninth and tenth pieces in the "Women with Jesus."    

What if Jesus was actually Drawing in the Sand?

What if Jesus was actually drawing in the sand, not writing, when the woman was accused of adultery?  What if Jesus was expressing his compassion on the woman through artistic expression?  What if he was preparing his teaching for the men who brought her with a quick drawing?  What if he were delivering the Word through artistic expression?  Through his parables, he drew for the people visual images of God's realm.  What if those visual images weren't solely metaphorical?  Wouldn't we be amazed if archeologists would one day unsurface a papyrus or sheepskin sketch journal that Jesus may have kept?
